I think the best option, tbh, would have been to just put in "Democratic". Neither federal chancellor nor the president hold any significant amount of power (except emergency situations). While the chancellor is the most powerful position, it's still rather powerless in total and the president is above them in the ranks. I think you could also summarize; in the past governments were simpler and you could definitely say "X was ruler of Y" Nowadays it's complicated and checks and balances make it almost impossible to say who is the top of the food chain in a government (atleast in title)
